Fuck AI and all, but to be faaaiiiiir, if you take away most people’s computers they would be far less efficient than someone that did the same job without one 50 years ago.
In the profession I recently retired from, if they suddenly went back 50 years in tech the global economy would crash, and even a 20-30 year regression in tech would seriously fuck things up until people adjusted. And even then they wouldn’t be able to reach the same levels of efficiency.
You emigrate from. You immigrate to.
Yeah, but then we would’ve just gotten a regular old run-of-the-mill jerk-off Republican like Romney or Jeb next, and we would have spent the next 4-8 years saying “holy shit, this guy is so awful, how could it be any worse,” just blissfully unaware.
How do I immigrate to that timeline?
Peter Parker’s big friend from the most recent Spider-Man movies was photographed at an event looking dapper in a suit. It led to a lot of memes, one of them calling him “the CEO of sex,” which itself led to many spin-off memes. This one (which doesn’t include him in the suit) references spawn camping, a video game term where someone “camps” at a place where the opposing team “spawns” after being killed to kill them again before they can get going, and uses it as a metaphor for going after underage girls. It then continues the video game metaphor with Sex 2.
So, The CEO of sex says Epstein can’t participate in the new sex because he rapes underage girls.
For a lot of people, when they say they hate country music what they really mean is they hate Nashville pop. There is still a lot of good country music out there, you just won’t hear it on CMT (if that’s even still a thing, I don’t really know.)
Give them a few years. The belt and road initiative is set to bring levels of exploitation and wealth extraction never before seen. China gets shit done when it wants to and understands the long game.
Yeah, I don’t think that’s common knowledge. I never knew it was called that until I got into my profession. And I think it’s only called that there because it’s been around since before “forward slash” entered the vernacular.
There are probably some similar circumstances, but almost everyone calls it “forward slash.”
In French. In English a virgule is a forward slash.
I like a scotch finished in port casks so you contribute!
That’s the thing, 45 years later you only ever hear the bangers, not the other 99.9%.
Is there a term for that? It’s not survivorship bias exactly, although I guess you could stretch the definition.
Is usually not individual words, that’s the point. They scrub certain words and phrases to try and hide but they still have a certain way of speaking that you don’t hear anywhere else.
It’s like some people I work with. They don’t use any bigoted slurs or quote crime statistics in my presence but they say other things. Things that normal people, including myself, might say, but they say them in a way that I never hear them said outside of some of the uglier parts of the internet or in a certain kind of company. They don’t even know they’re doing it, they think they’re hiding but they keep saying things that in a safe space, for them, is followed with a sentence that contains bigoted language.
I actually like seeing their posts on my main account. It allows me to keep up with their lingua franca, so I can more easily identify their alts on normal instances, so I know not to attempt to engage in good faith.
It should get OP a ban. What’s the point of defederation if someone from .ml is just going to bring all that shit here?
Oh so now it’s just some instead of lots.
And you’re in a paradigm, because you were into all those deep cuts without a translated name. We’ve probably never heard of them, because you’re into that real shit, right?
So “there were lots of anime which did have official English names,” so you didn’t “come from an era before widespread official anime translations.”
Therefore, bullshit.
Not ascribing the worst motivations to something is quite different than “seeing their point.”
I did address your second point. I said it was irrelevant.
I hope if someone starts saying something awful about you with no basis there aren’t people who thoughtlessly “see their point” for no reason.
A lot of people have a lot of stupid/bigoted opinions. Do you see all of their points too?
Your opinions of other shows are irrelevant to weather or not they have a valid point about this show.
That’s enough? Someone says something, anything, and you see their point?
This is not semantic at all. I’m asking for one example from Star Trek that allows you to “see the point” of someone that says it’s “woke,” “pushy,” “preachy,” or anything else along those lines.
If you’re unable to give an example you’ll have to forgive people for assuming the reason is the mere existence of the characters that makes them feel that way and that allows you to “see their point.”
To see their point you don’t need to agree with it but you do need to think there is some basis for it.
What is the basis for their point that allows you to see it?
I had coworkers from Europe visiting the U.S. asking for advice on places to go that thought you could hit New York, Disney World, New Orleans, and San Francisco in a long weekend renting a car.
